Peter Stokkebye Peaches & Cream (No.303)

The Virginia is lightly grassy with some tart and tangy citrus as the base of the blend. The burleys are nutty, woody, and earthy with a little molasses in a strong support role. The unsweetened black cavendish provides some sugary smoothness in the background. The tobaccos are sublimated by the rich peach and creme toppings. The creme works to keep the peach toned to a mild to medium level, so it’s not overwhelming as some peach blends can be. The strength is a step short of the center of mild to medium, while the taste is a slot past that center. Has a mild nic-hit. May need a slight dry time, though I didn’t do that. Has no dull, rough or harsh spots, and won’t bite. Burns at a moderate pace, and requires only a few relights. The mostly consistent, mildly rich flavor is cool, clean, very smooth and creamy from start to finish. Only in the last quarter of the bowl does it weaken, and only in a minor way. Leaves a little moisture in the bowl, but no goop. Has a short lived, very pleasant after taste and room note. An easy going all day smoke where the fruit doesn’t wear you out.

Peter Stokkebye - Peaches & Cream (No.303).

I'm quite 'faddy' with food and peach fits the bill this week, I can't get enough! So, to go hand in hand, I dug this out of my cellar!

It's a fairly coarse ribbon, appearing heaviest with Black Cavendish. The moisture's a touch high, so mine had a short airing prior to smoking, and the pouch smells potently aromatic.

It may be because of my peach fad at the mo', but I love the flavour! The peach leads, but the smoke's rounded by the cream. What formerly deterred me from peachy aro's was the sharpness, and over-false taste, that I found from it as a casing. But this blend doesn't have those traits: the peach tastes vibrant, refreshing, and honest, without being bitter, or acidulated. The cream, as I said, rounds the flavour, becoming more flavoursome after a third; until then the peach dominates the smoke a little more. The topping, although not harsh, is formidable enough to mask a lot of the tobacco flavours. The burn meets my expectations of a good blend, and it hasn't got a bite in it.

Nicotine: mild. Room-note: lovely.

The best peach aromatic I've had:

Highly recommended.

It reminds me of the fountain peach drink you could get at donut shops about 20 years ago. You knew back then you were drinking something that tasted like peaches, but you knew it wasn't peach at all and I guess one could care less because it was cheap and refreshing. I treat this the same, you know your inhaling a scientists rendering of peach, but heck it tastes pretty good and smells even better but who cares? It's a bit overpowering for me, I could smell it in the box before I bent down to pick it up off the porch after the postman dropped off my order. It's a bit much for me to smoke on its own, and quite frankly it overpowers any mixture I blend to incorporate it into. It will ghost a briar and render a new filter gurgly and black after each session. The room note is divine, and I certainly received enough compliments on the aroma from passersby, but alas I don't smoke a pipe for those reasons alone.

In my search for a peach blend, this is the one above all others that I have tried. You can actually Taste....Yes...I said TASTE the peach! Not only does it smell great in the pouch but the flavor is right there on this one. It's a bit wet at first, but an hour on the drying table and she smokes very well with few relights. This one gets a thumbs up from me!

I bought an ounce of this from my Local B&M shop. I have a personal guest to find a decent peach aromatic. Until now, I have enjoyed Boswells peach as my first choice in this flavor. But this blend surpassed Boswells and I have since purchased an 8 ounce package of this to cure my peach cravings. You have to dry this for about an hour before lighting and you have to smoke it "S L O W" or it will disappoint you. As with all aromatics, Keep it cool in the bowl and slow down and you will taste the peach and a smile will come to your face! Enjoy.

This isn't too bad, the fact the stokkabye uses quality tobacco shines through most of their blends and this one is no different, the flavor of peaches is mild enough to not over power the Virginias, not overly wet, I smoke it the way it comes without drying

I love peaches, and with Spring time being upon us, I was craving something to satiate my craving for the fuzzy little things. This blend nails it. I wasn't expecting much from a bulk, but then again, it IS a Stokkebye blend. It arrived a little too moist for my liking (I prefer drier tobacco anyway), so I let it sit out for 3 or 4 hours (about an hour per ounce). I packed my first bowl in a cob, and I was blown away by the flavor! You can taste the peach very prominently, but you can also taste the tobacco. It remains consistent throughout the bowl, and I could smoke this all day long without getting tired. I keep a pouch on me at all times now, and I'll be ordering more. No bite, burns cool, doesn't gunk up a pipe, and tastes amazing. If you don't like peaches and tobacco (who doesn't?), then move along!

For me this was like inhaling my own bile. The most revolting stuff ever. Each to their own i guess. I like other PS baccy.

This is great stuff, it's creamy and peachy, most of the time aromatics won't deliver the taste they promisse, this one not only dos that, but it really made an impression. I haven't tried before any peach flavored tobacco so I can't compare it to others, but let's just say that if you like aroamtics, this one will deliver and more. It's just delicious, I'll keep it in my rotation for sure. Hopefully you'll get your hands on this tobacco, let it dry for a while before actually smoking and then sit back, relax and enjoy.

Peaches and Cream. This blend light's easily so long as you allow it to dry out for at least 30 to 60 minate's before packing your pipe.After doing so I just give it a slight rub-out before loading and lighting that way it behave's very well and give's a nice slow easy going smoke. The flavour is very nice and you can taste the mild sweetness of peaches resulting in a 'not over the top' manner. The consistant taste last's almost right through to the end of the bowl and doe's not bite. I did not detect any sourness and I would suggest this blend for anyone new to pipe smoking or if you are like me and just enjoy a sweet change of pace throughout the week. Highly recommended in it's class for an Aromatic I give this 10 out of 10.
